7. "Alfred Hitchcock Premiere
Collection": While all eight films in this box set from MGM have been
available on DVD before, many have been out of print and others are presented
here in definitive editions. His 1927 silent thriller "The Lodger," his first classic and arguably the
... more first
"Alfred Hitchcock movie," gets the treatment it deserves with a superbly
produced master and a choice of two scores; and his British sound films "Sabotage" (with one of Hitch's greatest scenes of
excruciating tension) and "Young and Innocent" have never looked this good on DVD. All
the films (among them "Lifeboat" (pictured), "Rebecca," "Spellbound" and "Notorious") look superb and get the deluxe treatment, with
commentary, featurettes and/or radio play versions of the film, and the handsome
case invites you to browse through the collection like a book.
